26. The house across the street is burnt orange and when the sun sets behind us it reflects off that house and gives everything a warm glow.
27. The Alaska Coffee Roasting Company, comforting and familiar.

29. How peaceful he looks when he sleeps.
30. How my daughter always wants "anullah kiss" at bedtime.
